codegen-http

Converts Postman-SDK Request into code snippet for RAW HTTP request.

Prerequisites

To run Code-Gen, ensure that you have NodeJS >= v8. A copy of the NodeJS installable can be downloaded from

Using the Module

The module will expose an object which will have property convert which is the function for converting the Postman-SDK request to HTTP spec and getOptions function which returns an array of supported options.

convert function

Convert function takes three parameters

• request - Postman-SDK Request Object

• options - options is an object which has following properties

  • trimRequestBody - Trim request body fields

• callback - callback function with first parameter as error and second parameter as string for code snippet

Example:

var request = new sdk.Request('www.google.com'),  //using postman sdk to create request  
    options = {
        indentCount: 3,
        indentType: 'Space',
        requestTimeout: 200,
        trimRequestBody: true,
        multiLine: true,
        followRedirect: true,
        longFormat: true
    };
convert(request, options, function(error, snippet) {
    if (error) {
        //  handle error
    }
    //  handle snippet
});

getOptions function

This function returns a list of options supported by this codegen.

Example

var options = getOptions();

console.log(options);
// output
// [
//    {
//      name: 'Trim request body fields',
//      id: 'trimRequestBody',
//      type: 'boolean',
//      default: false,
//      description: 'Remove white space and additional lines that may affect the server\'s response'
//    }
// ]

Guidelines for using generated snippet

• Since Postman-SDK Request object doesn't provide complete path of the file, it needs to be manually inserted in case of uploading a file.

• This module doesn't support cookies.
